No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 553 - 551: I’m Not Sad [3rd Update]

After the opening ceremony for the new store ended, Seven invited everyone to eat at a nearby restaurant, and once lunch was over, everyone went home.

Liam watched Maya, who didn’t seem very cheerful, and taking her small hand in his, he placed it near his lips, gently kissed it, and said, "Maya, let’s have a baby next year, okay?"

Listening to Liam’s comfort, Maya turned around and smiled at him; her smile was gentle, yet helpless, as if Liam misunderstood her.

After smiling, she held Liam’s large hand earnestly and said, "Third Brother, I’m really fine. I don’t mind the child from three years ago anymore. You don’t have to worry about me. I know we’ll have children in the future. I’m not sad."

Today, when Liam held her in the sunroom on the rooftop, Maya knew he was worried about her.

Although Maya still felt some regret about that child, she had let it go. She knew they would have a healthy baby in the future, so she wasn’t troubled by it anymore.

"I’m sorry, Maya!" Liam said, still filled with guilt as he remembered that night at the bar.

"Third Brother, I’m fine. Next year, let’s have a whole bunch, okay?"

"Sure!"

"I’m just a bit worried about Christopher now. I see Seven and Ian are serious. Ian is really good and suitable for Seven, but what about Christopher? Although he seems unbothered today, I can tell he’s sad, his eyes look empty and lonely." Among Liam’s brothers, Christopher was closest to Maya.

She was used to being called "sweetheart" by him, accustomed to his cheerful look. Christopher’s sudden gloom made Maya uncomfortable.

"If Seven really chooses Ian, Christopher will be okay. He’ll stick through it. He’s just still longing for the feeling of first love, as Seven is the most genuine woman around him." Liam grew up with Christopher, so he understood his personality well.

Over the years, many women surrounded Christopher, but everyone knew they were mostly after money and fame. Someone like Seven, who simply liked him, hadn’t appeared again.

Thus, Christopher regretted being too young and stubborn back then.

But no matter how much he regretted it, what’s past is past and can’t come back.

"Alright! I hope Christopher is okay and finds his true love soon." Maya expressed herself with some regret, knowing deep down Christopher wouldn’t give up easily; he would at least take one more chance.

After all, Seven was his entire youth, his whole innocent era.

"Young Master, Young Mistress, someone just delivered an invitation." As Liam and Maya entered through the villa’s gate holding hands, Aunt Smith hurriedly handed over an invitation.

Liam took the invitation from Aunt Smith, gently released Maya’s small hand, opened the invitation, and furrowed his brow, thinking, James’s efficiency is too high.

He hadn’t expected James to see through everything after meeting Maya just once, not even having doubts—truly a legendary figure, capable of predicting things with just one word and being perfectly correct.

Seeing the sudden change in Liam’s expression, Maya looked up, leaned close to his face, and lightly grasped his arm, asking, "Third Brother, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, Chairman Bennett invited us to have dinner at his place on Saturday," Liam said with a smile.

"I’m not going. This James is too weird; we aren’t even familiar with him. Why would he invite us to dinner at his house? Third Brother, I don’t want to go." James’s persistent pursuit was beginning to make Maya uncomfortable.

Back then, she couldn’t even handle Henry’s pursuit, let alone a grown man’s pursuit now, it made her embarrassed.

"Maya, do you dislike Chairman Bennett?" Liam asked, gripping her shoulders and staring fixedly at her.

"If he weren’t strange, I wouldn’t dislike him. But he’s too obvious in his attentions." Maya increasingly felt James was trying to undermine Liam, but Liam was still wanting to speak for him, Maya couldn’t take it.

Liam watched Maya’s distaste for James, took a deep breath, and said, "Maya, I think you misunderstand Chairman Bennett."

"Third Brother, what’s going on? That man wants to pursue me, to undermine you. How can you speak for him? If I really get stolen away, it will be too late for you to cry." Maya was unhappy with Liam speaking for James.

Liam saw Maya being stubborn, his head ached, many things he didn’t know how to explain, and couldn’t clearly describe.

But he didn’t want to see Maya unhappy with James, it made him very conflicted.

So, Liam thought for a while and seriously asked Maya, "Maya, do you trust Third Brother?"

"I do!" Maya nodded vigorously.

"I can tell James is good to you, not because he wants to pursue you, but rather because he sees you as a junior he cares for, much like how he cares for Sophia. I think we can accept this invitation."

"Think about it, James may look young, but he’s already 46, and you’re so young and lively, he’s such a quiet man, how can he pursue you? Your personality doesn’t match his criteria for choosing a partner. From my analysis, he probably likes Sister Woods type, and that’s not you." Liam continued explaining to Maya, carefully offering her clues to help her first experience by herself.

Liam feared, if the truth behind James’s kindness came suddenly, it would frighten Maya and make her unable to accept it; after all, this guy suffers from depression, if he can’t handle it, they’d really have no way.

Listening to Liam’s analysis, Maya squinted slightly, staring intently at him, muttering, "Sister Woods, Sister Woods, I’m indeed not this type."

Then, as if realizing something, she nodded and said, "Oh, oh, oh! I know, he doesn’t mean anything else. It’s simply a natural affinity. However, his niece Sophia is interested in you; he wants to create opportunities for Sophia to pursue you."

"Haha! The Bennett family is too interesting, so openly trying to undermine others, I want to see what Sophia wants to do?"

"Alright, I’ll go to this dinner." Maya thought about how the other side was targeting Liam, and gnashed her teeth in anger.

However, she’s not the type to shrink back, so she didn’t reject anymore and agreed, after all, she had confidence in herself and assurance in Liam.

Since the Bennett family doesn’t measure themselves, she wouldn’t be polite, she’d handle them, no problem.

So, on Saturday, Maya went to James’s home with Liam.

It’s James’s first time inviting someone to his home for dinner, specially arranging many fresh flowers in the house.
